The Seattle Times’ unofficial all-area second team

One of the worst parts of putting together the Star Times team that is featured in Wednesday’s paper is having to leave good players off it. We spend hours agonizing over who to put on and who to leave off, and, in the end, we understand that you could make good arguments for plenty of players not featured on the Star Times team.

So I wanted to put together an all-area second team to include some of the players that were worthy of serious consideration for the first team. Just like with the first team, there are plenty of really good players that could have been on this team.

Again, I should emphasize that this is an unofficial team. It’s just something I did to acknowledge some of the other really good players in our area.
